Cyberattack on Iran?

The US has said that they launched a cyberattack on Iran's missile system.  (Which is presumably a system that you don't want people to be able to find easily.)

 

Now Iran has said that there was no successful attack on any of their systems.

 

Which may make it hard to figure out who's right ...

"Iran said on Monday that no cyber attack against the Islamic republic has ever succeeded ....." 

Stuxnet anyone?

 

I'm not sure which is more concerning, however. A) In response to a country shooting down one of our drones over their airspace, we launch a cyber attack on their missile systems (not something you want to be screwing around with), or B) Someone in said covert action felt a need to blab to the media about it.
